Enzyme technology boosts pigs fed DDGS

Pig producers looking for lower feed costs with
distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) can use the latest developments in
enzyme technology reported Dr Alexandre Péron at the 42nd University of
Nottingham Feed Conference, UK, 3-4 September 2008.

As feed costs continue to escalate, by-products from the food and fuel
ethanol industries can provide alternative, more cost- effective ingredient
options for the nutritionist. The use of DDGS in animal feed has increased with
the growth of the bioethanol industry. Whilst DDGS is potentially a cost
effective and valuable feed ingredient, there are certain anti-nutritional
factors which can limit its use in pig feed.
